The following menu.sh provides me with a way to use e3pi in an rxvt,
with a visible cursor (green). There are also examples of full-size
rxvt's with and without scrollbars (+sb - no bar). I removed -popup so the
menu would not go away, but I still cannot tell where the focus is so I
lose it sometimes when I type F4 to remove an rxvt.

I have no idea why the cursor works if you load e3pi at the same time as
rxvt, but not if you first make an rxvt and type e3pi in it. But this is
a solution and users might also appreciate having an editor on the menu.

If I comment out the line in .xinitrc about wallpaper I get the screen
that you see before the window manager comes up - a neutral pattern of
small colored pixels that looks grey. Does this use more or less ram than
midnight.pxm?

Why is the export DISPLAY line in both .xinitrc and menu.sh and what does
it do?

#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
exec MENU -teleport \
'xterm-800-87 :rxvt -ls -cr green -bg black -fg yellow -g 86x38 -fn 9x15'
\
'Image viewer :(xli /usr/share/swm/earth.gif &); \
rxvt -fn 9x15 -g 67x20+0-0 -e links-0.90 .' \
'Editor :rxvt -fn 9x15 -g 67x30 -e e3pi' \
'Internet :/usr/share/swm/internet.sh' \
'Clock :rclock -g 125x110-0-0' \
'Calculator :calctool -g 20x20+2-20' \
'Control Panel:/usr/share/swm/control.sh' \
'Shutdown X :/bin/killall Xvesa' \
'xterm-640 :rxvt -ls -cr green -bg black -fg yellow -g 69x30 -fn 9x15'\
'xterm-800 :rxvt -ls -cr green -bg black -fg yellow +sb -g 72x26 -fn
11x19'
